The chair of the Democratic National Committee is calling for a recanvass in Iowa as a new report suggests the latest batch of results are "riddled with inconsistencies and other flaws."

As of Thursday morning, results from 97 percent of precincts had been reported, showing former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are nearly tied.
